Buckets to Bliss: Kentucky’s Collin Chandler Marries His MVP
In a heartwarming chapter straight out of a fairy tale, Kentucky shooting guard Collin Chandler said “I do” on May 8 in beautiful Utah, marrying longtime love and fiancée Hannah in a dreamy, intimate ceremony surrounded by family and friends .
The couple’s romance first reached headlines in December when Chandler proposed in Central Park during a team trip to NYC — a Knicks‑style backdrop for a Knights‑worthy proposal . Fast forward just over four months, and the 21‑year‑old Wildcats sophomore is now a husband, stepping into his next role with poise and joy.
Chandler, a 6‑5 firebrand who returned to the court following a two‑year LDS mission, saw his role grow steadily last season — from averaging 2.7 points and 1 rebound per game to bursting onto the scene with 5.5 PPG, shooting over 50% from deep in the final stretch . He’s set to return in 2025‑26 under Coach Mark Pope, and now, with Hannah by his side, he brings a new kind of championship energy to Lexington .
The ceremony, held in Chandler’s native Utah, reflected both elegance and personal warmth. The couple later shared tender moments from the day via Instagram — exchanging vows, joyful embraces and radiant smiles — capturing the hearts of Wildcats nation .
As Big Blue Nation rallies behind Chandler’s blossoming on‑court career, they’re now equally excited to support his greatest teammate yet — his bride. From clutch threes in Rupp Arena to shared adventures off the court, Chandler’s 2025‑26 season just got a whole lot sweeter.
Here’s to the Chandlers — may their love story be as epic as Kentucky’s next championship run!
